Thanks.
I'm trying to figure out whcihc lights to get and then we'll get someone in to fit them.

This.
The light is basically useless on ours (and the one in our old house) - you need the heat lamps on to see anything!

Hi all,
We've got a walk in shower and we've decided that we'd like to stick a light or two in there.
The roof is 1m above the shower head so splashes…

We've got vinyl planks in our kitchen/family room. Ours has a bit of texture on it to try to stop the dogs slipping and sliding. We've had no problems and…

We've got a couple of piece of "New Age" furniture (fairly cheap plantation "Mountain Ash" or "Tropical ash" depending where you look).
We wanted to get one more piece, but found…

I'm not a pest controller or a builder, but I have had termites...
Based on my expert knowledge (read line 1) Termites live inside the wood. They don't leave visible traces…

Am I naive?
Wouldn't you contact the company to see if they'll "do the right thing" before jumping to legal action?

3 or 4 the same in our street. You wouldn't pick it if someone didn't tell you.
Facades change, one might be flipped etc etc.

Thanks for the reply.
So far I've found ezy wall, versa wall and heron blocks which I believe all allow a vertical wall.
The only thing I can't figure out with all…

Hi all,
I'm looking to build a small 3 sided enclosure in the back yard (for a wood burning stove).
Looks like mortarless blocks of some description are probably the easiest way…

I got some of the Sockitz ones.
One broke and it was replaced no questions asked.
Thumbs up!
Only improvement I'd like is an external switch to turn of power to the…

Thanks Shane, I can see your point but my brain is telling me this is an issue when the alarm is not even plugged in, so it has to be…

Hi all,
We've got a few phone points in the house and the first one is for a back to base alarm.
I discovered that the rest of the points don't work…

Can anyone recommend any sites that show a good variety of colors/styles of exposed aggregate products?
I've been going through google one concreter at a time and I was hoping there…

Good point - I'd just assumed internal flyscreens, but external ones on sliding windows makes sense!
Out of interest is there any alternative?

Hi all,
We've ordered plantation shutters and the guy measuring up suggested if we want fly screens we need to sort them out before the shutters go on.
Some of our windows…

Thanks for the reply.
At this it's too late to change plaster - I'm just putting insulation in a couple of walls and am interested to know if the pink batts…

Hi all,
Thinking of adding some insulation to some internal walls. (Builder is already doing external walls).
Main thought is for a bit of noise control, but any environmental gains would be…

Hi all,
Looking at vinyl planks - the ones that just go straight onto the slab, no real preparation required.
Just wondering if it is really worth DIY, or are there issues…

Problem is I *know* it isn't my builder.
If we're talking a few hundred, I'd ignore it.
If we're talking a few thousand, I'd probably raise it with the neighbors...

Don't know if this is the right place or not:
Just wondering who is going to have to fix the cracked footpath / cross over in front of our property.
Our builder…

After poking around the forums a bit I've got a few more questions for the builder / floor guy that I'd never thought of:
Given we have tiles carpet and (probably)…

The advice we got today was the glue down ones need extra prep (masonite ovet the slab etc) - he told us the click lock ones go straight onto the…

Hi all,
Been lurking for a while, first post...
We're looking at flooring options now, probably going with vinyl planks due to the two large dogs running around inside the house who…
